In Canada here, it's 100' allowed over an obstruction. When I'm examining windmills which are over 400' over the blades, I'm allowed to fly up to 500' to clear the structure as long as I'm within 200' of the structure.

I generally fly at 130' to avoid trees. If I'm doing a roof inspection, then generally I can do all of that over the owner's property since I'm only 20-30' away from the roof. Neighbors sometimes complain about seeing my drone in the air - assuming that all droners only have nefarious intent.

In Canada here, we often sent goods purchased in the US back for repair/replacement. We had to use the proper forms to show that we had already paid duty when it first entered the country so we wouldn't be dinged twice for the same item. It might be a good idea to contact a broker to see if the...

When I'm flying over residential areas, I usually fly high and quickly. If I'm flying my Mini 4 Pro at 400' you can't really see or hear it. What I'm worried about is when I'm doing real estate photos, then I'm flying lower and taking photos of the property from various angle which means I'm...

Have you tried resetting your controller back to factory settings? That's solved a couple of intractable problems for me in the past and is easy to do. Taking you through the process of connecting to your WiFI, etc. sometimes recovers a bad original initialization. A simple fix would be to tell...

I had stutter when saving the video files in H265 format. I changed over to H264 and the stutter went away for all of my other video players. Not sure if what I see is what you're talking about. When playing the H265 videos, the playback would "hesitate" every couple of seconds continuously...

You can encrypt data saved on the Enterprise drones. You can fly without connection to the Internet. There is no need to upload your flights or save them on the DJI servers. Companies can separately download firmware updates and then sideload them onto the controllers and the drone from a...

Yeah - these ads are all over Facebook as well. Dozens of look alike ads showing Mavic 3 Pro drones flying and then, what they're really selling is some toy. Bait and switch.

The color and sharpness are quite nice. The area is perfect for your flying which was very professional. My only wish is for more spots where you hovered so we could examine the structures. The endless motion made it harder to enjoy the details and the spinning climb away from the building was...

I'm not in Italy, so I can't speak to those rules, but we have similar rules in Canada here regarding National, Provincial Parks and Conservation Areas. I've been able to get permission to fly in some of them from the park Superintendents. But in all cases, I called and spoke directly to them -...

I have a Mini 3 Pro, a Mavic 3E and a Matrice M30. The Mavic 3E gets the most flight time since it has the best camera by far. I use the others in more selective situations that require either - something small and easy to carry (M3P), or inspections and telephoto shots (Matrice).

This looks fascinating. The company blurb doesn't actually say what it does. Is this just a detect and track platform or does it also have jamming capabilities?

I once saw a cartoon in Calvin and Hobbes where Calvin said that "the fact that aliens haven't contacted us yet proves there is intelligent life in the universe."

Yes - that's been my experience over the time I've been flying, but I was looking for some way to explain the "collision" warning that popped up for a second.

Very interested in what you find. When it happened to me, it was almost like my drone was hit with an EMP causing several warnings to popup. The weirdest one was "collision" when nothing actually hit it. If the RF interference messed with the IMUs electronic mind, perhaps that could explain the...
